A number of people who failed in school currently enjoy meaningful
and successful lives. These include, though by no means are limited
to, those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),
those with executive function challenges, those with learning
disabilities, those whose learning and behavioural challenges are
linked to traumatic events in their lives; even those impacted by
all of the above. What's more, they also include those who enjoyed
years of access to excellent special education and mental health
services. Up until recently, not much attention was paid to
successful people who did poorly in school. Why not? One reason
might be that few among us probably realised how many of them are
actually out there. But another and even bigger reason might be
that many of us doubted that it was actually possible. And those
doubts are entirely understandable. After all, think of the
thousands of hours parents, teachers and various healthcare
professionals spent trying their hardest to help these failing
children turn things around in school, sometimes with little or
nothing to show for it. And if these children continued to struggle
and fail in school with all this help and support, how could they
ever succeed in the real world decades later without it? So what
did we miss? Why were we so wrong about them? And most important
perhaps, how can their life experiences help others avoid or
overcome the years of school failure they endured decades ago? In
his new book, Mark Katz answers these as well as other questions.
Focusing on studies of five people who were considered school
failures and drawing on fields such as clinical and social
psychology, cognitive neuroscience and education, Katz presents new
remedies to prevent learning, behavioural and emotional problems,
and reduce juvenile crime, school dropout and substance abuse.
